Great food. Great guide

We are so happy that we took this tour. Bob was an amazing guide and he knew the city so well. He is from Hanoi and we felt we had a truly local experience. Even after the tour, he sent us a list of restaurants/foods that we should go to that we didn’t have time to visit. We felt that we learned a lot about Hanoi and we got to explore the many local food options we may have never known about. We could not recommend this enough and you’ll be lucky if you have Bob as your guide

Fantastic tour! An amazing little group tour with an Amazing guide Mai who showed us her favourite hidden spots! So lovely to have a local guide who all gave us lots of information about her hometown, its culture, history and food!

Amazing food experience!

This food walking tour was so much fun. Bob, a local to the area, was the guide and we visited several different restaurants in the area. Go to this tour on a empty stomach as there was so much to enjoy 😊
